be superior in point of relative simplicity,

and inexpensiveness, taken in conjunction with utility, durabilit andgeneral. eficiency and serviceabi ity. In practicing the invention Iprovide a desk-calendar which includes a daily journal section, atelephone index anda yearly calendar, as well as a daily desk calendar,all of which are suitably joined together and bound at one end to acover.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel and useful provision, formation, construction, combination,association, inter-relation of parts, members and features, all asdisclosed in the accompanying drawing, described in the'followinstatement and finally pointed out in claims.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an improved desk pad;

Figure 2 shows one of the combination journal sheets detached from thepad shown 1n Figure 1; and

Figure 3 is a plan view of a telephone index member embodied in saidpad.

Corresponding parts in all the figures are designated by the samereference characters.

Referring with particularity to the drawing, A designates a cover of thepad, B a phone call index, and C one of the important journal or diarysheets.

The'cover A comprises a flap member a and a base member b. Thecover maybe made of any suitable material such as cardboard, etc., as well asmade in lany desired shape. The flap ortion a and the base portion b arefol ed to turn over at the point marked 1. Within the flap portion a andthe base portion b of the cover A is secured at'the portionmarked 1 bystitches 2 cr other suitable means, a pack or series of printed sheets Band C. The sheets B are indexed as at 3, each sheet having certainindications thereon so that the particular name upon a sheet may bereadily located. One of the sheets as 4 has printed thereon Phone calls,as shown at 5. One side of Veach sheet B has a space as 6 wherein anamev may be written, and also a space as 7 for a telephone number,there bein a ruling Sseparating the name and num r. Obviously any numberof sheets B may included under the sheet'4, it being'intended l thateach sheet has some indication as shown at 3 upon the same. Beneath thesheets B are located a pad or pack of the sheets C. Each of the sheets Cis ruled as at 9 so that a person ma jot down any memoranda upon thesame. t will be noted that each sheet has thereon an important journalor diary for future reference form c, and a general journal or diaryentry section a', there being a line of scoring 10 such as erforations,between the form c and the orm d, whereby the form d may be separatedfrom the form c. The form c really forms a stub portion of the pad andis permanently retained by said pad Within thev cover of same. The

Aform c has printed just above the scoring 10 the words Importantjournal notes above v followed by the day of the month. The form at thebottom thereof as at 11 has on one side as 12 a complete last monthscalen dar, and at the opposite side of the sheet as 13 a complete nextmonths calendar. Between the said calendars 12 and 13 as at 14, islocated a daily calendar. Above said daily calendar as at l5 are printedthe words Yearly calendar on the last sheet. It will thus be seen that apad of this type combines, and has been pointed out, four importantelements. First, a daily desk' calendar shown at 14, a combinationjournal as shown at c and d, a telephone index as shown at B, and ayearly calendar, not shown', but intended to be printed upon the base bof the cover A The Hap a does not completely cover the sheet C, but isintended only to cover the portion of the sheet C marked c, as well asthe sheets comprising the telephone index B. Obviously each person usingthe desk pad will find certain ways and means of using the same toenhance his best interests. However, it is intended that the sections dcontain notations or other items that may arise during the day, and thatthe sections c should contain notations or other items of specialimportance for future reference. It

- that each sheet will open flat.

i B an tion is an important feature, in that practicallyno pad now onthe market includes this feature. The flap a may have printed upon itssurface as at 15l numerals representative of the year, as 16, or inplace of using the numerals as at 16 the name of a firm might be printedthereon, especially if some-firm desired to give its clients orcustomers pads as a Christmas gift.

It is obvious that many changes and modifications and variations may bemade in practicing the foregoing invention, as described, all withoutdeparting from the true spirit of the invention.
